Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!

This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!

Check out today's questions:

Mike: Thank you Dr Cabral for all you do. I’d like for you to read this question to yourself before reading out loud, to some people this could be disgusting. What can we learn from our stools size, color, texture, smells, amount, frequency? Spencer: I’ve been experiencing shakiness, jitteriness for a decent amount of years now. I had some extended chronic stress. I ran the big 5 recently. My adrenals were tanked and I likely have some fungal/yeast/bacterial overgrowths based on my OAT. I tried the CBO two years ago, but my body was just too burnt out and stressed that no protocol would work. I’ve started working on nervous system and therapy, which have been helping a ton. I plan to do to CBO again at the end of the year. I also had some mycotoxin markers elevated (mostly the black mold one) likely from my job, which I still have one more year at so I don’t want to focus too much on it. Do you have any advice for me in the meantime? I think more frequent smaller meals could help, but my diet is limited because of sibo and gut issues… Rachel: Hi Dr. Cabral, Over the past 12-20 months I've notice my mother (72) has this ongoing sort of this dry throat combination that results in coughing if she does not continue having lozenges in the morning & throughout the day. She a drink ks water& coffee in the mornings & I day is pretty well hydrated. This was never reoccurring issue until recent, I've tried to tell her body may be telling her something. What do you think it could be? & what would you recommend to a family memo? I also worry eating these ricola lozenges everyday is masking the issue & potentially disrupting her mouth/gut microbiome like say the wrong toothpaste would. Thoughts? Rachel: Hi Dr. Cabral, Can you give us a brief breakdown on if we should really be concerned about high cholesterol anymore if we don't have other contraindications? I know statins are a billion dollar industry & really don't have much efficacy. My mom is 72 & her bloodwork came back with LDL around 163. She is active, always doing yard work, has been lifting 3x a week for the last 2 years & eats a whole foods diet, high protein diet, barely anything processed. She sleeps great & feels good. Her only health concern is osteoporosis. I don't believe she should worry about this factor, but for years she has seen the headlines about high cholesterol so it's difficult to change her outlook. What would you say to her if she was your mom? Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral - Thank you for all that you and your amazing team do for our health community. You are my go-to and the one I trust with all my health questions. My question has to do with Botox and fillers that so many young and older women seem to have become so captivated by and are convinced this is how they retain a youthful look. I have never tried it and have no intention of doing so, but know so many who have and I'm concerned for them. Their facial features - eyes, cheekbones, lips, etc., just no longer look natural at all. I assume once they start this routine, they have to continue it to maintain the effects (even though they don't realize they are changing their looks). What are the chemicals in Botox and these fillers and what are the long term effects of them? Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions! - - -
